I had the gtx 950 2gb and upgraded to the gtx 1060 6gb sc but my old graphics card ran a game at 200+ fps and when i upgraded it is now at around 100 fps. I thought the problem was with the previous drivers so i uninstalled them. When I went back to the game it was still around 100 fps but now it has bad quality.
Is there any way to fix this?

My Computer Specs :
Intel i5 6600k
16gb Ram
128gb ssd
1tb hdd
Psu : EVGA 500 W
graphics card : evga geforce gtx 1060 6gb SuperClocked

what about the in game settings... sometimes games and geforce experience can optimize games to whatever GPU you are using. Check your settings inside the games to see if they're now pumped up compared to where they used to be, assuming you remember

Perhaps games auto-optimized to crappier and lower settings with the 950 and higher settings with the 1060. Now.. that being said, remove all drivers and such related to the old card, and install new drivers related to new card.
